About me

Hi! I’m Pam. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from Nicholls State University. I am also currently certified through the National Certification Corporation (NCC) in Maternal Newborn Nursing, and as an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant through the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE). I have also held certifications as a Childbirth Educator, first through Best Educators Special Training (BEST) and then through the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA). I have had the privilege of educating expectant families in the tri-parish area for over 30 years. My passion to help expectant couples navigate the journey of birth led me to become a certified Birth Doula through Doulas of North America (DONA), and to become a TOTS trained professional. Since becoming a Board Certified Lactation Consultant in 1997, I have worked throughout the region in both inpatient & outpatient settings. My compassion, drive, and enthusiasm have helped the new families I work with establish and achieve their feeding goals. As a mother of three grown boys, I can still remember my own doubt and need for support during each of my breastfeeding experiences. Now as a grandmother, my desire to help new moms build their confidence in feeding is even stronger. To make this easier on families, doing visits in the privacy and safety of your own home is more important than ever. It would be a privilege for Breastfeeding Solutions to be the answer to all of your breastfeeding challenges.
